In recent years, a growing number of researchers have begun using brain imaging technology and various measurements of the peripheral nervous system to answer research questions related to the field of education. These measurements are particularly interesting because they afford us a deeper understanding of the nature of the cognitive processes involved in academic tasks, they allow us to study what happens in students’ brains during learning, they help us to better understand the causes of particular difficulties experienced by certain students, and they allow us to evaluate the impact of various teaching methods. The symposium organized by the Association for Research in Neuroeducation and the Université du Québec à Montréal’s Science and Technology Education Research Team aims to highlight the methods and findings of researchers who are able to reconcile the constraints related to the use of cognitive neuroscience techniques with the study of issues related to the field of education.
